We loved this property! The duplex was a lovely building and beautifully decorated. It had everything we could possibly need and more! Even with the nor'easter happening while we were there, the apartment was a joy to come back to after a day of rain!

A wonderful place to stay for a week exploring Boston! There is a train/bus station a quick walk away as well as wonderful restaurants and shops close by. Was a nice quiet neighborhood to stay in away from downtown Boston but just a quick walk or train ride away from everything.

Parking was easy and very secure. We had the basics for cooking, but didn't have a tablespoon for measuring coffee, but improvised with a kitchen spoon. We appreciated having coffee and coffee filters available. The wifi was a little spotty, but overall we LOVED this place. It was so cozy and felt like our little home while staying in Boston. It was quiet, the beds and linens were comfortable, and it made our trip really special. We hope to rent this again!

Overall great place to stay when visiting Boston because of location to Orange line if you plan to use public transportation to get around. Not the most comfortable place to stay, but if you plan on being out and about for most of the time this is a more than adequate spot to lay your head.

Lovely stay for 4

Lovely property

I highly recommend this beautiful, well-kept place. Stayed with my family (spouse and two kids) as we explore Boston for a couple days. It’s a quiet area and lots of restaurant options are nearby. Subway is a quick walk, and Uber/Lyft prices to downtown are quite reasonable too. We loved the historic charm of this place.

Great place to stay - quaint neighborhood feel in the middle of a big city

Overall the condo was great - if you don't like going up and down stairs you can opt to stay in the living room, but we liked having our separate living and sleeping areas. It was nice and dark in the bottom bedroom area and left up stairs nice an clutter free. Location was great, while being a short uber to downtown we were close to cute local restaurants and bars we could easily walk to. I would definitely recommend this location and stay here again!

Comfortable clean unit

Very clean comfortable unit , location is basically a 15-20 min drive to the waterfront district and about the same to Fenway , we found it was nice and quiet neighbourhood .. the only issue is the parking during the week days can be a bit of a chore , but if you’ve been to Boston that’s pretty much a city wide issue ..would recommend and would definitely stay again

Great Property!

This property was great for us. It was my husband and I and our 2 teenagers. It was exactly as described. Updated, but still had that Boston charm. We felt it was in a great locations. We had no problem finding street parking. We were there to tour colleges for my daughter, so it was convenient to BU & NU. We took Uber one day and drove the other day. Would stay here again.

Perfect location

We were visiting colleges in the area as well as my daughter at Northeastern. The location was perfect. Finding free street parking was easy at night. We left all of our belongings upstairs because the stairs to the downstairs were like climbing up and down a ladder. It is a charming older building. With that came drafty windows. We cooked and ate in a few times. Kitchen had everything we needed. We would stay there again. Very affordable for being so close to the city. Thanks for the stay!

Property away from the city

The owner was responsive and even let us check in a little early. The apt was clean and looked nice, but was further from the city than we thought. The basement bedroom was difficult to access using the circular stairway and was very musty. This caused breathing issues for my husband with asthma. He ended up having to sleep upstairs on the uncomfortable pull out couch. Additionally, the shower leaked onto the floor each time we used it and the bathroom fan was always on.

Thank You Travis for taking the time to review! Very sorry that our vrbo fell short of your expectations. We are always looking to improve and guest feedback is key. A few notes we wanted to address for clarity to our future guests. We are in fact 100% in the city of Boston. 1.5 miles to the center, Copley square. Museums and other sites are walking distance, less than 1 mile and an amazing subway system to get you there. 4 minute ride once you get on the subway. Yes, we do have spiral stairs in the unit to the bedroom. We have a picture as well as put this in the description for guests. Sorry to read you missed this. The bedroom is on the garden level, with full sized windows, walk out, which is very common in cities like Boston where space is a premium. We have had some extreme weather and storms up the coast, which often increases moisture in the air. The air conditioner will dehumidify if needed. Our sleeper sofas are all equipped with highly rated, Air Dream mattress/aero coil systems. Once you open you inflate. You can then adjust to your individual comfort level. Bath fan is motion activated, so comes on when you open the door. Shuts off after 30 minutes. We have installed a new seal for the shower door, we appreciate you letting us know. We are available and happy to assist at any time during guests stays! Always reach out to your hosts if you need assistance. Thank You for staying
